with  instructions  to  complete  and  submit  it  to  the  (,'ouncil  as  soon  as

preparation  of  the  List. 

The  Committee  ventures  to  hope  that  the  new  Code  will 
find  favor,   not  only  with  ornithologists,  but  among   zoolo- 


gists generally.

mittee  on  Classification  and  Nomenclature  of  North  Amer- 
ican Birds  was  reappointed'  to  take  charge  of  tlie  work. 
The  Committee  held  sessions  in  Washington,  D.  C,  January 
15-19,  1894,  and  February  12,  13,  1895.  to  outline  the  work 
and  to  rule  on  the  questions  involved  in  the  publication  of 
liie  revised  List.  The  revision  ol'  the  matter  relating  to  the 
geographic  distribution  of  the  species  and  subspecies  was 
undertaken  by  the  Committee  as  a  whole,  each  member  in 
turn  taking  it  in  hand,  while  the  incorporation  of  typographic 
and  other  rectifications  made  during  the  sessions  of  the  Com- 
mittee,- and  the  final  preparation  of  the  manuscript  for  the 
printer,  was  referred  to  a  subcommittee  consisting  of  the 
Editor  of  '  The  Auk,'  to  whom  was  also  assigned  the  general 
editorial  supervision  of  the  work. 

The  toilov.infj  extracts  from  the  Introduction  to  the  Code 
of  Nomenclature  (pp.  14,  15)  will  serve  to  explain  the  scope 
and  plan  of  the  Check-List,  including  the  method  of  incor- 
]')orating  additions. 

'•  I.  That  the  term  '  \orth  American,'  as  applied  to  the  proposeil 
List  of  Birds,  be  held  to  include  the  continent  of  North  America 
nortli  of  the  present  United  States  and  Mexican  boundary,  and 
Greenland ;  and  the  peninsula  of  Lower  California,  with  the  islands 
naturally  belonging  thereto. 

"  2.  That  species  he  numbered  consecutively,  and  that  subspecies 
be  enumerated  by  affixing  the  letters  a,  b,  c.  etc.,  to  the  number  borne 
by  their  respective  species ;  provided,  that  any  subspecies  of  a  species 
not  included  in  the  North  American  Fauna  shall  be  separately  num- 
bered as  if  a  species. 

"3.  That  stragglers  or  accidental  visitors,  not  regarded  as  com- 
ponents of  the  North  American  Fauna,  be  distinguished  by  having 
their  respective  numbers  in  brackets. 

'  With  the  L'xieption  of  Mr.  11.  W.  Ilenshaw,  who  was  unable  to  serve,  and 
Dr.  C  Hart  Merriam  was  appointed  in  his  stead. 

-The  Committee  desires  to  here  acknowledge  valuable  assistance  received, 
especially  in  the  preparation  of  the  geographic  portions  of  the  list,  from  Major 
Charles  Hendire,  Mr.  Frank  M.  Chapman,  Dr.  Walter  Faxon,  Dr.  A.  K.  Fisher, 
Mr.  Cierrit  S.  'Miller,  Jr.,  and  I.V.  T.  .S.  I'almer.  'i'he  Committee  is  further  indebted

North  American  birds  be  included  in  the  List  in  systematic  order,

species in  the  J,ists  of  Baird,  1858,  of  Coues,  1873,  of  Ridgway,

the  synonymatic  references. 

"II.  That  a  summary  statement  of  the  habitat  of  each  species 
and  subspecies,  with  special  reference  to  its  North  American  range,
